Sept-2016: The AAG web site contains now a collection of high-level presentations on Applied Geochemistry, given by AAG lecturers and senior members. You will find them here.

Sept-2016: Geochemistry could not be what it is without sampling science. One of the founding fathers of sampling, Pierre Gy, left us last year. Many of us knew his papers or his name. He established scientific rules on sampling representativity that are still used by mineral exploration, mineral processing, and environmental remediation. The Theory of Sampling forum published a memorial volume on his legacy (see that here). This volume is in free acess. And for the present of sampling science, there will be the 8th WCSB conference in Perth, Australia on May 9-11 2017, combined with the Australian sampling conference. It is jointly organised by The AusIMM and CSIRO. Papers are invited for submission now.

June-2016: The tailings dam accident in Brazil, at Fundão Mariana, November 5th, 2015, is not in itself a geochemist's issue. However, geochemists are concerned with this accident whether they are working with the mining industry or the environmental protection. See here how geochemists contribute to understanding the impact of such a major issue.

The AAG is now present on LinkedIn and Twitter! We invite LinkedIn members to join our group 'Association of Applied Geochemists', and Twitter users to follow us at @AAGeochemists. We hope this will give the opportunity to develop online discussions within the geochemists' community.
